Color of pen in signing signature

[genesis1968 0]

hello co-vjs,,, i need clarification on using blue pen in signing signature... We used blue pen on our I-130 and I129f just for the signature but i heard from a friend that they were advised not to use blue pen... Is this a big deal? Does it affect our application? I really hope,, somebody could share answer to this,,, thanks and God bless us all in our journey

No it wont effect your petition, we signed with black pen and had no problems at all, The idea with signing with a blue pen is so that they can tell that the signature is not a photo copy, but is the original signature, it stands out from the black of the photo copy or laser printed form.

I though BLACK INK is the only color allowed....

Form I-130,

Question 4. What Are the General Filing Instructions?

A. Type or print legibly in black ink.

I hope they are not too strict about this. my wife signed her G-325A with blue ink...i guess i'll find out soon enough

Most government forms can be filled out and signed in Blue or Black ink. The normal blue not some neon.

I suppose their preference is black since all the government pens I seem to have collected over the years were black. But I would give no cause for alarm - especially since was just the signature. Not a big deal.

I'd use black in the future though so you won't worry..
